The difference was 20 years ago they were flying for DFT and VLT. Now it's all at straight pay..

If I remember right...Volunteer was actually paid at straight pay. You are correct though, much draft was flown at overtime.
On the other hand, we didn't have all these "slackers" doing their reserve on the golf course, and never flying a trip.

$10,000 Question?
Frozen Anc trip 2106/18 use to be a Mem trip. The RFO still is mem 3095/18.
It now pays 10CH more per pilot plus an additional 6K for the DHs.
I thought the company was trying to save money???????

I will wager this trip is reserved for some ANC Management/Flex or LCA types. It should be open for pick up and they should BUMP the crew that gets it, but this ridiculous "Frz" option is a way around it, pure and simple.

In the military we would call that "Fraud, Waste and Abuse". They had to add a duty day and layover in DTW to make it work for ANC. I'm sure that trip has someones name already on it.........we just can't see who it is.

Easy Trigger.....
Everyone knows that the MEM guys get ALL the good deals - right?
Case in point......check out the following extra MEM pairings for last month (Sep)
2258 on 3 Sep (HSBY) - MEM - Captain - schedule blocker (hmmmm...)
2323 on 12 Sep (HSBY) - MEM - Captain
(sorry, not smart enough to put in a link to VIPS)
Even as fat as we are on Captains in ANC and virtually NO open time, the company takes one of our standard milk runs ANC-AFW-ANC and turns it into a MEM trip with a DOUBLE DH with "HSBY" on the front/back ends.....give me a break!!
Both new MEM trips pay around 2.5 times the normal CH for the ANC-AFW-ANC trip.
Both have double DH's to the tune of $1700.00 each - plus hotel - plus extra per diem......
I'm probably the only one who noticed this since I LIVE for trips that begin/end with an AFW/DFW DH - but can NEVER get them...
So.......yeah......what IS that fraud, waste, and abuse hotline number again???
Lighten up Francis...
